great battles and campaigns of the
civil war.
The Quarter-Centennial of all the
engagements and campaigns of 1.-The
battle year of 1852 will occur during
this year 1887. The interest in the
great events of the most tragic period
of our history will be heightened by
the twenty-fifth anniversary of each
great episode. On this occasion there
will be interesting reunions of the sur
vivors of the battles upon the ground
where they fought, and there will be
memorial services and celebrations OF

such interest to people as the great

Der of Bologna is an ardent disciple of
the late Cardinal Mezzofanti, of philo-

well; he can babble away to his hearts

sian he knows little of, and he can
even articulate few syllables in En-
glish.
He has not, however, mastered the
preliminary difficulties of the latter
tongue. Strange recollections of what
read of the great French revolution
and visions of the blOod-stained guillo-

my mind as read the ominous words,

Grand JollIneatIOn.

Word being received Thursday that
our State Legislature had granted the
appropriation to the Normal School,
several hundred of the Normal stu
dents, together with large number of
our best citizens, gathered at the Nor
NAL Thursday evening and had kind
jubilee meeting. Remarks were made
by Judge j. J. Buck, Rev. DR.. Hendy,
Judge Graves and others. A Normal
choir furnished excellent music and
sang a number of songs improvised for
the occasion, the words of which may
be found on another page.
Early in the evening huge bonfire was
built in front of the Normal building,
and as the wind was blowing perfect
gale, our fire department was on hand
to be ready for an emergency
but fortunately their services were not
needed. During the evening the new
Emporia Cornet Band discoursed a
number of fine airs, and at the finish
responded to an encore.
At the close of the entertainment red
lights were burned, by way of illumina
ton, which showed off the building tC
excellent advantage and discovered the
American flag floating to the breeze

vailed among the faculty and visitors
as well as the students, and the occasion

Death ora Prominent citizen.

Harmon Harrison, aged 20, died at
his home 143 Neosho street, Friday night
at 1890 o'clock, of peritonitis. The
deceased gentleman was a native Of
Troy, New York, where his parents
still reside. He came to Emporia
about four years ago, bringing with
him his wife, daughter of Hon. E. w.
Greenway, NJ. c., of Troy, New York,
and engaged in the loan and brokerage
business with Captain S. B. Warren,
the firm being known as Warren &
Harrison. During the four years of
his residence in this city he and his
amiable wife have made a host of
friends, who are sincere in their ex-
pressions of sorrow at his sudden death.
He occupied high place in the business
life of Emporia and was forward in all
schemes for our city's advancement
and up-building. In his death Empo-
ria looses one of her most energetic
and enterprising citizens.
Mr.. Harrison's wife and child and
brother George, who is clerking III the
Office, are the only relatives he leaves
in Emporia. His parents and his wife's
parents, who reside in Troy, New
York, have been sent for and will ar
rive in our city on Sunday. The ar
rangements for the funeral will not be
made until they are heard from def
nitely.

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue
and the taking off of revenue stamps
from proprietary medicines, no doubt
has largely benefited the consumers,
as we'll as relieving the burden of
home manufacturers. Especially is
this the case with Green's August
Flower and Boschee's German Syrup
as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving One-ffth
more medicine in the rs cents size.
The August Flower for Dyspepsia and
Liver Complaint and the German
Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale Of any
medicines in the world. The advan-
tage of increased size of the bottles
VIII be greatly appreciated by the sick
and afflicted in every town and village
in civilized countries. Sample bottles
for 10 cents remain the same size.

FARMER,s VIEWS.

The following letter was received at
this Office yesterday evening, and we
lay it before our readers, with few
suggestions as to the wisdom Of follow
ing the advice given in it:
HARTFORD, March 8, 1887.
EDITORS E9IPoRIA NEWs:-Allow
and to the farmers Of Lyon county.
We, as farmers, are not in a condition
to subscribe for stock in railroads. The
stock is always below par if we should
wish to sell, while our farms can be
sold to pay interest and principal on
the bonds. Therefore, farmers, turn
out and vote against the proposition.
Z. D. MOsHER.
It seems curious that intelligent peo-
pie who read the newspapers can make
such an argument as the above, not
withstanding all the experience under
Kansas railroads to the contrary, when
it is SO well known that every railroad
that enters a county brings with it
more Of an income in the way Of taxes
on property than the interest on the
bonds will amount to, while the in
creased values and the added wealth
cannot fail to more than make up for
the principal long ere it becomes due
Every hog and steer in the county will
of necessity become worth more be-
cause Of the increased facilities for
getting them to market. This will also
effect every acre of land in the county,
which must of necessity increase in
value.
OF course farm worth 800 an acre
will be taxed more than one that is
worth $40 an acre, but the rate Of tax
alton will not be increased, but on the
other hand will be diminished.
Now show us a farmer who would
rather own farm worth $40 an acre
than one worth 800 an acre and we
will show you a man who is justified
in antagonizing these railroad propo-
sitions.
The building of three new lines of
railway through Lyon county will
make her the richest and most populous
county in the state of Kansas. Where
now lots of her land is as yet unculti.
waited, with these new railroad facili-
ties it will be but a short time ere every
acre will be utilized.
To such as do not desire high-priced
farms and market facilities, this rail.
road business appeals just as strongly
as it does to the others, for after theiI
increase in value, the owners can dis
pose of them and remove to cheap lands
in northwest Texas, or elsewhere.
The man who owns farm in Igor
county after the railroad bonds shall
have carried, will find that his proper
ty has appreciated already in value
and when the city of Emporia hal
doubled or trebled in population, anC
the county likewise, which will be il
but short time afterwards, he will
find that he has a fortune in lanC
/ alone.

Useful ana HurtfuI a1edicinss

There is certain class of remedies
for constipation absolutely useless.
These are boluses and potions made in
great part of pobophyllin, aloes, rhu-
barb, gamboge, and other worthless in
gradients. The damage they do to the
stomachs of those who use them is in
calculable. They evacuate the bowels,
it is true, but always do so violently
and profusely, and besides, grippe the
bowels. Their effect is to weaken both
them and the stomach. Better far to
use the agreeable and salutary aper-
lent, HOstetter's Stomach Bitters, the
laxative effect of which is never pre-.
coded by pain, or accompanied by a
convulsive, violent action of the bow
